为了与原来的风化板平房的不起眼的特征和意图保持一致,这个扩建项目在规模和预算上都是一个适度的项目。

In keeping with the unassuming character and intent of the original weatherboard cottage, this extension is a modest project, in scale and budget.

该项目从维多利亚时代的平房开始–一排密集的封闭空间沿着狭窄的流通空间。新的扩建项目颠倒了这个数字-地面图,在一个狭窄的地带,沿着一个广阔的开放空间,有一个密集的程序。因此,新的扩建部分是现有结构的延伸,并与之形成对比。

The project starts with the Victorian cottage – a row of dense enclosed spaces along a narrow circulation space. The new extension inverts this figure-ground diagram, with a density of program in a narrow strip along an expansive open space. The new addition is therefore an extension of, and contrast with, the existing fabric.

扩建部分的结构和包层几乎完全由一种单一的材料组成–层压松木–作为一种统一的纹理。

The structure and cladding of the extension is almost entirely of a singular material – laminated hoop pine – acting as a unifying texture.

结构元素被用来作为建筑结构的主要表现形式,并定义了新空间的体验。空间北边的全长天窗带来了丰富的光线,这些光线被暴露的椽子过滤和扩散,在一天中不断变化,并被不同深度的椽子所放大。

Structural elements are employed as the main expression of the building fabric and define the experience of the new space. A full-length skylight on the north edge of the space brings in abundant light, which is filtered and diffused by the exposed rafters, changing through the course of the day, and amplified by the varying depths of the rafters.

房屋的体验是阳光和阴影在空间中移动的轨迹。

The experience of the house is of the tracks of sunlight and shadow moving across the space.
